You had me at “suck copious amounts of cock”
I think I’m in love.
Seriously though. Let me tell you a little story about a “plan” falling apart.
My dream since 1999 was to be a soldier in the Army, and finally in October 2010 after the death of my childhood friend David in Afghanistan I Dropped out of college and joined the National Guard.
So I signed up and headed out July 2011. Well my training was going fine and I had passed everything until on a simple night patrol I slipped and fell off of a road and dislocated my hip, cracked my femur, and broke my ankle. I spent 4 months after that doing menial physical labor with a broken leg while getting berated and made fun of by Drill Sgts. (Anyone in the military knows how poorly injured soldiers in training get treated)
Finally December 8th they sent me home.
So here I am back at home in mom and dad’s house with no job and education. Felt pretty shitty not going to lie.
But in life we don’t have the convenience of quitting. SO I went and took a semester of school (only one class but still) just to get into the swing of things. Then I got a job working as a roofer (made my leg feel GREAT) and at Victoria’s Secret. Yes they hire men and I love working there.
Now I am going back to school at the college I originally dropped out of for a 2 year degree as a Physical Therapist assistant.
So the moral of my story is that shit happens, so roll with it. Just take steps, even if they aren’t always forward. Just KEEP MOVING. You’ll get it together and find the direction, but direction means nothing if you aren’t moving.
You aren’t as bad as her, you aren’t a pathetic slob crying in the gym. You have goals and you work towards them. You don’t have to be THE best to be YOUR best. That’s all anyone can ask of you and its all you can ask of yourself.
I think I need to take a vacation to Canada now…
Alright, I read the whole post, but it took me a few minutes to get past this . . .

Thanks buddy. Today I weighed in at 150.8, so now I have 25.8lbs to lose. Slightly less easy peasy :S. I CAN DO THIS! Just like you lost pounds for your disney vacation :).

LOL, thanks.
ANd I like your story. It’s good to be reminded that everyone’s path isn’t so plain and simple all the time. It seems like everyone I went to school with went to the U of A, got real jobs, got married, had babies etc… I KNOW I KNOW, it isn’t REALLY always like that, but stupid facebook lies and makes things seem so happy pappy all the time.

I think you’ve got a lot of fry in you, and that’s a big compliment. NEVER CHANGE

OMG STOP GANGING UP ON ME :'-(!
UMMMMMmmm In case anyone forGOT I am semi-psychotic and I make up crazy things inside my head all the time that may or may not really exist. LIKE when I think certain cashiers or waitresses hate me and then I am scared to ever go to that resturant or checkout again, wahhhhhhhhh.
OR like sometimes I think friends are mad at me and I send big long messages about how I am so sorry and they have no idea what the hell I am talking about. … I AM FLAWED, mkay. Please accept me. :S
K MULTI-QUOTED LIKE A BOSS, BITCHES.

Tell that to the guy who posted in the o-lifting forum about the “Outlaw way”
K today’s shit
25 min hill sprint intervals got up to um 8.0 incline and 8.0 speed I think? I forget, maybe it was 8.5 8.5. ALMOST felt like puking so I know am on my way. Also weird how 25 mins of that shit feels wayy harder than 20.
WIll do that 2x’s a week until weight stops being lost then add 3x’s week.
UM
chin ups 3 x 3
ab circuit
3 diff. exercises x 25 each x 3 times repeated. Ya.
I think I might try to do some of this john medows type training shit. Mountain dog or something? I like dogs AND mountains so it might be okay. NOT OFFICALY STATING THAT I AM PLANNING THOUGH CAUSE i am scared to change my mind again, Lol.
BYE
OH I made a veggie fritttattta instead of a beef/bacon/cheese/cream firtttatatta so that’s like 500 less calories right there. And I am dividing it into 3 days instead of just 2, so K.
I hope to lose like 1.3lbs per week so that I can post some type of progress in Feb. when that nice chris coclccucuci person makes another progress thread.
BYE

Meadows stuff is more about BBing than PLing, just FYI.
He does include the main movements, but they’re done differently. Also there isn’t x-by-x weekly progression so you don’t have to feel like you have to get a certain number of reps or a certain weight each week. Might be good for you. Just train to how you feel that particular day.
EDIT: btw, when I say “different”, I mean he does pre exhausts and stuff before the main movements instead of doing main stuff first… not like you need different form or anything

All true, but still lots of gems in there. Wouldn’t recommend doing any of the main lifts Meadows-style if your main goal is PL-ing, but lots of ways to fit some of his things into your accessory movements.
Edit: I hope that doesn’t sound like I was disagreeing with you, just adding on
Aw Spock 
If its any consolation , moving back with you parents at ANY time in your adult life is an absolute kick in the teeth. It sucks and messes with your self worth and scads of other areas of your mind. I had to do it twice myself.
You got stamina and spirit, you are not defeated yet
Haters gonna hate, ballers gonna ball, don’t mess with spock, cause she’ll kill’em all…at the powerlifting meet.

Life news:
Another godawul driving lesson today. I had to be on real roads last time and I literally almost passed out from hyperventialting… I want to go back into parking lots
My instructor also wants me to train him in exhange for free driving lessons, LOL. UMM that is kind of awkward because I can’t really do that a commercial gym legally.
Oh ya so I added shit up and my new diet will be around 1800 cals per day except squat days will be like 2000. Which is probably over 1000 less calories than I was getting before cause I would eat like entire meatloafs in 2 sittings and I would think that was being healthy and restrictive for some reason?
I don’t understand, my parents would eat chicken thighs for supper and have ONE chicken thigh each and I would have four or five to myself. I would think THEY were insane for eating like birds, but maybe I am the one eating like a hippo. Do hippo’s eat meat? I can’t remember.
DON"T TELL ME I want to find out for myself when I visit the one at the calgary zoooooooooooooooooo. 
BYE
You could “consult” him. That’d be legal.

I wish I had started losing weight earlier so I could be sailor moon for halloween without it being like one of those cubby girls that wear skanky halloween costumes, heh.
I remember one year I was at the grocery store and this really overweight chick was dressed up like sailor moon and it left a bad mental image in my head for like 2 years.
OH DISCLAIMER:
Not like I am one of those snobby anti-fat bitchy people, but I just think certian halloween outfits should be worn oNLY IF body types are well-suited to it.
LIKE one year I was less fat and more muscely and I wanted to dress up as um that klingon who fucked Worf, BRB google.
K her name is Special Emissary K’Ehleyr. She was actually part klingon, part human so I guess that’s why Worf’s son wasn’t 100% klingon? Ya, it’s all coming back to me now…
N E WAY I wanted to be her which would have been somewhat well-suited to how I looked at the time. Now i feel stupid for sort of complimenting myself thinking that I could actually pull her off, but whatever.
I never went out that year for halloween though so I had no reason to dress up.
K ya.
UM SO MY POINT IS NOTHING.
I will probably just be bowser this year if I can find something.
BYE
Heeyyyyyyyy…question.
Are you planning to stick with medium to higher rep ranges (8-10) or are you going to cycle in some heavier stuff (3 to 5)?
